Electricity Rates by Province

In Canada, electricity rates are regulated by the provinces. It is somewhat nebulous to show the actual electricity commodity rates because every utility may have different charges that apply, such as regular monthly administration charges, delivery charges, debt retirement fees, charges for loss over the transmission lines, etc.

What people care about is how much they actually pay on their total bill. Therefore, the chart below shows the average monthly electricity bill by province for 1,000 kWh of electricity consumption (which is typically about what most households use) as of May 1, 2013.
